Windows 11 is the big star, however Windows 10 is still relevant. Microsoft has promised to support it until October 2025. This deadline gives users time to consider abandoning it.
They now have three years to prepare for the move to Windows 11, which in most cases means buying a new device to meet the system requirements. If Microsoft is talking about Windows 10 maintenance, the OS will also benefit from feature updates. About it on Twitter @he45076932 spotted the first references to Windows 10 22H2.
More specifically through a series of commands it is possible to activate this version. It will normally be announced before the end of the year. 22H2 is a new feature update but be careful, don’t expect a revolution. Clearly, it is likely that the improvements will be minor. Why ? Microsoft is mainly focused on polishing the existing to ensure that Windows 10 remains operational through a stable and efficient environment.
Windows 10, a scheduled end
During the official announcement of Windows 11, Microsoft also promised to continue supporting Windows 10 until October 2025. This is not necessarily a posture to be welcomed because we are more on an obligation in view of the popularity of this operating system.
Windows 10 is today the first destination for PCtists. Windows 11 comes far behind with a market share that struggles to exceed 20%.
“For customers who are using a PC that won’t be upgraded to Windows 11 and aren’t ready to upgrade to a new device, Windows 10 is the right choice. We will support Windows 10 until October 14, 2025 and recently announced that the next Windows 10 feature update will arrive later this year. Whatever you decide, we are committed to supporting you and giving you choice in your IT journey.”
Microsoft has yet to announce a date around Windows 10 22H2.
